¿Qué relación puede guardar un asesinato acontecido dos décadas atrás con una serie de nuertes sucedidas tiempo después sin explicación aparente? El inspector Harry Bosch debe plantearse dicha pregunta cuando la investigación de un antiguo homicidio le retrotrae a la peor época que recuerda de su larga trayectoria profesional: las revueltas raciales que arrasaron Los Ángeles en 1992. A medida que avance en la investigación del viejo caso nunca resuelto, Bosch deberá volver a aquellos turbulentos días en que la ciudad pareció enloquecer y en los que una joven fotógrafa murió bajo extrañas circunstancias. Y es posible que la resolución del asesinato cometido en 1992 también ofrezca respuesta a otros crímenes sin aclarar. -- p. [4] of cover

No hay muchas víctimas que mueran una década después de que se cometa el crimen. Así pues, cuando un hombre fallece por las complicaciones derivadas de un balazo recibido diez años antes, a Harry Bosch le corresponde un caso en el que el cuerpo todavía está fresco pero apenas hay ninguna otra pista. Incluso para un policía veterano sería un caso complicado. Y la nueva compañera de Bosch en el Departamento de Policía de Los Ángeles, la detective Lucía Soto, no tiene ninguna experiencia en homicidios. A Bosch y a Soto se les encarga resolver un caso de alta tensión y con implicaciones políticas. Empezando por la bala que ha permanecido alojada durante años en la columna vertebral de la víctima, los detectives deben conseguir nuevas pistas a partir de pruebas reunidas años atrás, y éstas pronto revelan que el disparo no tuvo nada de aleatorio. Cuando la investigación gana velocidad, conduce a otro caso sin resolver en el que todavía hay más en juego: las muertes de varios niños en un incendio ocurrido veinte años atrás. Pero cuando su trabajo empieza a amenazar carreras y vidas, Bosch y Soto deben decidir si vale la pena arriesgarlo todo para encontrar la verdad o si es más seguro dejar que algunos secretos permanezcan enterrados.
